Hi everyone!

I have a question about canonicals and Total CMS. Our SEO guy wants me to add canonicals to Total CMS blog pages, but I don’t think I’m able to edit the of a blog post, correct?

For example, he wants me to add this canonical:  
`<link rel="canonical" href="https://cbmlawyers.com/about/firm-news/post/?permalink=cbm-nominated-for-business-excellence-award-2017" />`

…to this page: [https://cbmlawyers.com/about/firm-news/post/?permalink=cbm-nominated-for-business-excellence-award-2017](https://cbmlawyers.com/about/firm-news/post/?permalink=cbm-nominated-for-business-excellence-award-2017)

Since it’s a Total CMS blog page, how do I add this? Can I add it to the ? Or does it have to be in the ? Is there a way to edit the on a Total CMS blog post?

Use the Blog Macros to insert the permalink into the meta tag in the header.

Joe, I put this in the of the page:  
`<link rel="canonical" href="%blogPermalink()%" />`

And this is how it looks when i publish it:  
 ![28%20AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/d/d76ba0bc165401d7893ce97dcf3f00aa88e24e75.png)

Is this correct?
